Wasn't sure exactly what he'd been in was at first (just that the name was familiar), and then noticed he voiced Bilbo/Frodo in the old Hobbit/RotK cartoon films.  Still working in various roles too, right up into his 90's.

And didn't die of natural causes either...hit by a car.

A name that sounds very familiar, and, yet, when I look through his filmography and TV appearances, nothing stands out.

RIP, Dude that I know but don't know why.
The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.   -G'Kar

Orson Scott Card has a character named Bean.

Rip dude.

He was basically a character actor, not a leading man;  one of those guys who showed up a lot as a guest on old TV shows, usually in relatively minor parts.
